Abstract

Masalah sumberdaya alam tidak dapat dipecahkan hanya dengan konsep neoklasik semata, misalnya Pareto-optimalitas, tetapi memerlukan pendekatan yang menyeluruh terhadap aturan main dari sekumpulan kepentingan yang terlibat di dalamnya. Karena pasar air dinyatakan terlarang di banyak negara berkembang, alokasi dan pengaturan air irigasi Nampak mengikuti pola "formal" atau "legal" berdasarkan luas tanah yang harus diairi, misalnya. Pola ad hoc mungkin diperiukan demi fleksibilitas dan penanganan masalah secara khusus dan diharapkan berguna untuk mempermudah pelaksanaan aturan main pembagian air yang dimaksudkan tadi. Perspektif kelembagaan melihat kelembagaan sebagai suatu variabel tidak tetap yang bakal memfokuskan kepada struktur kelembagaan alternative nantinya, terutama untuk mengatasi konfiik sumberdaya, kepentingan siapa yang harus didahulukan, yang pada gilirannya diharapkan mampu menciptakan seperangkat pilihan ekonomis. Jadi, perspektif kelembagaan berangkat dari masalah yang paling mendasar, lalu bemsaha mencari pendekatan yang ampuh untuk menjelaskan keadaan yang sebenarnya.
